I just made these, and thought that I would quickly share the changes I made as a vegan in case others wish to make these without the egg etc. Basically, I substituted Nuttlex for the butter and used perhaps 1/2 tablespoon extra of golden syrup. I also used two cups of plain flour (I never use pre-packed SR flour) and two teaspoons of baking powder as well as the baking soda as listed. They turned out wonderfully :) Noni from AdelaideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35192030884743541482018-06-08T10:36:38.722+10:002018-06-08T10:36:38.722+10:00These look delightful Rhonda!

I feel the same way; many of the old ones are the best! Thanks. Can't wait for tea-time with these. Even though I'm an American, I lived near the Canadian border for several years and my Canadian mother-in-law taught me about a proper afternoon tea, and how to bake. I try to follow her tradition after all these years. marypetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635441749337640738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-83559604111813557532018-06-08T07:19:46.088+10:002018-06-08T07:19:46.088+10:00Dear Rhonda, these sound really very delicate and ...Dear Rhonda, these sound really very delicate and as I'm a huge fan of Australia I will surely try them next time especially for the reason that unfortunately I will never come to Australia because a long time ago I've decided to never again use a plane because of ecological reasons. So these Monte Carlos will remind me of my love to Australia. And your blog too is something that tells me a little bit about the life of Australians and soothe my longing. Enjoy the Monte Carlos and enjoy this land of my dreams where you have the luck to live in.
